And Finally…
- We had previously suggested volatility would remain higher. The coming weeks will be dominated by earnings reports. Even is progress is made in the trade negotiations we expect there to be speed bumps along the way.
- Spreads narrowed during the week as the PACB deal looks increasingly unlikely to succeed. Again, we advise traders to be aware of changing earnings announcement dates.
